V!CAS User’s Guide

In the previous chapter we explained physically installing the V!CAS on
your LAN. If you haven’t already configured your V!CAS for basic op-
eration (covered in Los Geht’s and Getting Started), you might like to read
this chapter first.
With this chapter, we’d like to give you an introduction to working
with the V!CAS. First we’d like to explain a few basic concepts that make
the V!CAS such a diverse and powerful product. Of course if you’re al-
ready farmiliar with the BIANCA/BRICK family of routers and the Set-
up Tool, feel free to skip this section.
Then we’ll cover using Setup Tool (i.e., menu structure, key com-
mands, etc.) on the V!CAS. This section contains some important infor-
mation including some of the finer points to using Setup Tool. You may
decide to return to this section for future reference while using Setup
Tool.
